Cerros Amarillos: un sistema de alteración de tipo pórfiro de edad miocena superior, Cordillera Principal, provincia de Mendoza

Abstract

Se describe un área de alteración aflorante en la región de Cerros Amarillos, ubicada en el curso superior del río Atuel, en la Cordillera Principal del sur de Mendoza (35°S, 70°O). La zona de alteración está espacialmente asociada a la Formación Huincán en facies dacítica (Mioceno superior) y está caracterizada por un estadio hidrotermal temprano representado por alteración potásica con una asociación de biotita-magnetita. A ésta se sobreimpone una paragénesis compuesta por sericita-sílice-carbonato a la que se asocia alteración albítica. Esta fase tardía correspondería a una asociación de albita-sericita de alto nivel que ocurre a profundidades someras dentro del sistema y es anterior a la etapa fílica. Por otra parte también se identificaron en el área de alteración cuerpos de endoskarn que corresponden a brechas piroxénicas y vetas de plagioclasa-piroxeno. Las paragénesis de alteración reconocidas permiten asimilarlas, de forma preliminar, a las de los sistemas tipo pórfiro con alteración sódica que, de acuerdo a las relaciones estratigráficas y la información geocronológica existente se vincularía genéticamente al magmatismo del Mioceno superior.

In the Cerros Amarillos area, Cordillera Principal of Mendoza province, Argentina (35°S, 70°W) it crops out an alteration zone which is spatially linked to volcanics of Upper Miocene age. It is characterized by early potassic alteration with a paragenesis of biotite-magnetite. It is overprinted by a sericita-silica-carbonate paragenensis with associated albite. This later stage corresponds to a high level albite-sericite association which is prior to the phyllic alteration stage. Endoskarn facies comprising pyroxene breccias and plagioclase-pyroxene veins also crops out in the area. The recognized paragenesis points to a porphyry system with sodic alteration. The stratigraphic controls and the geochronological data suggest a genetically link with the Upper Miocene magmatism
